As its name suggests, the newly launched Space Weather Operational Readiness Development (SWORD) center at 91勛圖厙 seeks to offer a little protection for the planet, spurring research into the tumultuous environment several hundred miles above the surface of Earth.
Physicists and engineers at 91勛圖厙 envision infrared astronomy telescopes that may one day span the entire globesyncing up observations from instruments spread across the continents, or even orbiting Earth, and giving scientists an unprecedented look at phenomena like the birth of new planets.
Scientists will develop worlds in a box to investigate the phenomenon of atmospheric escapehow some planets, like Earth, hold onto their atmospheres while others, like Mars, dont.
CUs Heinz Research Group has earned a prestigious NASA award for their research centered on designing lightweight, high-strength materials that could save millions of dollars for spaceflights.
Marking the latest milestone in a new kind of space race, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission touched down safely on the moon. 91勛圖厙 astrophysicist Jack Burns gives his take on why nations and companies are hurrying to parts of the moon that no Apollo craft ever visited.
91勛圖厙 is leading a major Air Force project to track objects orbiting near the moon, collaborating with researchers at Texas A&M, Georgia Tech and L3Harris Technologies.
A new laboratory for a plasma wind tunnel is taking shape in the aerospace building at 91勛圖厙. The project is the vision of Assistant Professor Hisham Ali.
An international collaboration, including researchers from 91勛圖厙, has for the first time uncovered compelling evidence of what scientists call the "gravitational wave background"enormous undulations in the fabric of space and time.
At the center of nearly all large galaxies in the cosmos sits a supermassive black hole. In new research, a 91勛圖厙 astrophysicist explores what might happen if you put these giants one-by-one on a massive scale.
The new mini-satellite, called MANTIS, will be designed and built by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics. It borrows its name from the mantis shrimp, an undersea creature with famously powerful eyesight.
